American Doll trip to NYC

Our Mommy-Daughter Day started early with a 7:40 train! We enjoyed the ride in to GC and then headedup to American Doll. She had no problem on the crutches. Now she can walk on the hard cast, but I insist NO jumping!




We quickly raced to the 3rd floor as the doors opened to get out name on the waiting list for brunch- which started at 9:30. Isn't that breakfast? I had no idea that this was booked weeks in advanced. The brunch was alot of fun, topped by a cute chocolate dessert.


After the Cafe experience, we set out to shop! And we shopped hard! The girls had a lot of fun and an American :just Like Me " doll was chosen! After picking out clothes, riding boots and a be we set off to the photo studio.




Here we waiting to become super models. We waited in an area where we could fix our hair and clothes.




After a quick wait it was time to enter the studio.





Now you can't see the backdrop that was chosen, but guess... yes it was pink! The phots from AD came out great. Daddy joined us for the sitting. He made sure the photos and shoot were just right! Good job daddy!




My 2 lunch buddies! Because of time, we ate close at a great Mexican rest. in GC. Quick and Good!








We had a few spare moments for a photo op. In this photo you can see the cast. What you can't see is all the bags that I'm holding in the background!











She had a blast and loves her doll!The train ride home was an adventure. We sat in the back of the train thinking it was the front. Well at every stop we leap frogged up a car and inbetween we jumped cars. That wasn't liked by everyone. However, we met VERY nice people who helped us carry our packages, offered their seat, etc. People are good, sometimes they just need an opportunity to show it! :)
Our day was great and really helped us bond. Now we are planning a birthday party there with a few friends. Crazy!!!
Hope you like the long over due update!!!
I look forward to when Mei is older having a special lunch with her in the Cafe.
